Doula Tips Posts

This website was created the week I began my doula certification (April 2011) and quickly became filled with all my thoughts as I went through training - book reports, my experience with seeking out mentors, sharing my mentors' brilliant tips and insights, offering up my mistakes and successes to help others learn! It was a wonderful opportunity for me personally and professionally to chronicle the months of my doula certification, then birth photographer training, becoming a midwife assistant and childbirth educator, and so much more in the years since! I've been blessed to attend 100 births in the last few years and teach over 200 couples through the childbirth class - it's been humbling and enlightening.

As I began receiving increasing amounts of feedback and website visitors I realized I needed to go back and update and revise many of my posts. I was shocked to see I had created over 100 posts specifically under my category "Tips for Doulas!" Knowing it would take a lot of time to work my way through it, and hearing that the information I was providing was so valuable, I made the decision to do things a bit differently going forward. All the information is still here - ideas on everything from supporting a mom with an epidural, peanut ball use, photo tips for doulas, to suggestions on what to wear to births and thank you gift ideas for the medical care team. It's a LOT of information whether you are a new doula or an experienced doula wanting some fresh ideas on further building your business. Instead of having everything lumped together in my main site for clients I've separated out the doula/birth professional posts. They're now privately accessible with a log in and password and I'm offering all this great information for a small fee.

One of my PDFs ("Things to Consider") in the Forms section was also receiving a lot of traffic and many requests from doulas asking if they could use it. That file is being updated and will be available only as part of my Tips for Doulas package.

All this is available for just $30. Seriously, it's over 100 posts - you could read one a week and it would take you two years to get through all these tips. If you find that the tips are not what you are looking for then let me know within the first thirty days and your account can be cancelled and fee refunded. (Because of the nature of this program, a refund will not be given if you've had access for more than 30 days.)

I just want to thank you for all the time and effort you have put into this site. I just recently decided to become a Doula myself and have been struggling to find helpful advice online. I found your site this morning and have been pouring over it all day long. You answered so many of the questions I have had and helped me think of new ones and I have already learned so much. Thank you again! I look forward to following your story and learning more. – Mandy

Hi Heidi, I found you on Pinterest
I am a birth doula trainer with DONA and have a new online doula training program as well as being a midwife. I was thinking it would be great to add your Doula Tips to my website resources and link to you – do you have any promotions? Im thinking a really short video about what you offer and how a new doula can access your support.
What do you think?

Wonderful blog you have here but I was curious if you knew of any discussion boards that
cover the same topics talked about here? I’d really like to be a part of online community
where I can get opinions from other experienced individuals that share the same
interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Cheers!

Best Doula Training is what I would suggest. Maria & Amanda are the creators and instructors, they previously ran the Birth Boot Camp doula training but they have just this year set up under the Best Doula Training name and they are truly fantastic. I’ve seen their materials and talked at length with Maria about the program, what they teach, the on-going support, and followed up with doulas they trained to see what they thought as well. It’s a really, really in depth and professional program that will get your business off on the right foot and make you feel confident walking into the labor room. (And I’m not in any way rewarded for referring to them, I just know Maria well and know what’s gone into creating this and I believe in it!) 🙂
